SAMD11 Gene Summary [Human]
Predicted to enable several functions, including histone binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and protein self-association. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human SAMD11 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
